"Mark, it looks like it's been a long time since we've been on the scene of a Clippers game." Van Gundy in the commentary booth squeezed out a signature smile with his bitter gourd face.

"Jeff, yes, you have to know that when the Clippers broadcast live, it's usually Charles's bastard commentary, you know, his commentary is really terrible, I have to turn off the sound every time I can watch the game with peace of mind, otherwise my eardrums will keep hurt." Mark Jackson's resentment towards Barkley is obvious.

"Mark, Jeff, and you are often compared to me" Bill Wharton shook his head and looked at Van Gundy and Jackson very proudly, "That stupid pig is really annoying, an impolite pig" Bill Wharton still seems to have not forgotten Barkley's disrespect for him at the beginning, and Barkley, who was on the sofa at home and was about to turn on the TV to watch the game, sneezed several times in a row.

Van Gundy obviously agrees with Mark Jackson and Bill Wharton, and the three-commentary lineup that ESPN sent out today is enough to see how much attention is paid to this game, "Today's game is the focus of the battle, the Los Angeles Clippers, who are currently first in the West, face the New Orleans Hornets, who are second in the West, if the Hornets hold their home court and beat the Clippers, then the Hornets will be the first in the West, Mark, what do you think of this game?" ”

Mark Jackson glanced at Van Gundy and Wharton, glanced down at the stats table on the commentary seat, and said in a deep voice: "From the perspective of pure rankings, this game is undoubtedly a strong conversation, but from the actual situation analysis of the lineup and state, I don't support the Los Angeles Clippers, although they have gained the hearts of many fans under the leadership of Gu Fei, the Clippers are more dazzling and faster than last season, but I don't think their strength is stronger than Chris Paul's Hornets, Inside Tyson Chandler will encounter Chris Carman, a traditional interior player with more tonnage, which makes Tyson feel uncomfortable, and David West has already proven himself as an X-Men at the power forward position, and the last game Clippers lost to the Spurs gave the league a reference, and this game Byron Scott will definitely focus on the inside. And Chris Paul's offensive ability on the outside will be stronger than Andre Miller's defensive end, the only variable is Gu this, Gu has long proved that when he is crazy, he can't stop at all, but the last game consumed his physical strength somewhat, and the memory of the last game last season will definitely make Scott prepare rich gifts to entertain Gu, so I think the Hornets will hold their home court, of course, the game does not rely on analysis to get the real final result. ”

"As long as Byron Scott can't contain Gu's madness, then the end result is likely to be the Clippers taking away the win" Bill Wharton clearly showed his pro-Gu style, and Mark Jackson pouted.

"The good game started, and the Hornets started at home with Chris Carman, David West, and two defensive players up front, Maurice Peterson and James Posey. The playmaking guard is Chris Paul, and it seems that Byron Scott has made an important arrangement to deal with the Clippers' defense; The Clippers fielded the twin-tower lineup of Tyson Chandler and Roy Hibbert today, and Joakim Noah, who had been starting all the time, sat on the bench today, and then our "beast" Ron Artest, and the guard line is still the partner of Gu Fei and Andre Miller. Van Gundy finished reading the starting line-up and the referee blew his whistle.

Chris Carman and Tyson Chandler both jumped hard as they watched the basketball fall from the highest point, but the bouncing advantage of both sides was too obvious, Tyson Chandler overwhelmingly dialed the ball to Andre Miller, and the away Clippers took the lead in attacking.

In order to deal with Gu Fei, Byron Cotter has made a lot of efforts, Peterson's help defense on the sidelines and James Posey, a defensive titan who has made great contributions to the Celtics championship this season, make Byron Scott feel a lot more confident.

The course of the entire first half was as Mark Jackson analyzed before the game. Byron Scott put the team's offensive focus on the interior, the Clippers' Hibbert and Tyson Chandler's twin towers suffered tremendous pressure on the inside, and the pressure brought to Gu Fei by the two defensive experts on the outside can be imagined, but fortunately, Andre Miller and Artest maintained an efficient offense in the first half to withstand the Hornets. The Hornets held the Clippers down by a narrow margin.

Tyson Chandler flicked his hand in frustration and picked up the ball from the floor and served it to Andre Miller with just twenty seconds left in the first half.

'Nell, you see Chris Carman is really a good fit for our team. Thank you for your suggestion," Jeff Bauer said with a smile on his face, and Olshu's face was unusually ugly, and Bauer slapped him in the face.

"Tyson is also a good fit for us," Olshu said, with a relaxed expression.

Andre Miller steadily advanced to the front court under the interference of Chris Paul, and Gu Fei looked at James Posey, who was half a step away from him, and felt a little annoyed. James Posey's personal care of him made him a little uncomfortable, he was slightly taller than Gu Fei and his strength was not much worse than Gu Fei, and Posey's experience in the two finals undoubtedly became Gu Fei's biggest opponent in this game, coupled with the ferocity of the defensive end, Gu Fei was unable to play his full strength in the game in the first quarter.

Posey's gaze can't be compared with most of the defensive experts in the league, he doesn't have a keen gaze, his gaze is very gentle, but this mildness has brought huge trouble to Gu Fei, Andre Miller glanced at Gu Fei's position.

"Bill, Gu has been tested, what do you think?" Mark Jackson said as he looked at Bill Wharton.

Bill Wharton pushed the question to Van Gundy, "Jeff, I'll leave this matter to you, I'm only responsible for explaining, Jeff is a professional"

Van Gundy glanced at Wharton with disdain: "James Posey is undoubtedly the most defensive player in this league, his experience is Gu Fei's biggest enemy, even LeBron James and Kobe Bryant dare not be careless in the face of Posey under rich defensive experience, and this season's Gu Fei has strengthened his ball-holding breakthrough instead of shooting, but this still needs a process, although his breakthrough skills are often eye-catching, but he is still not skilled enough, It is normal for Posey to be limited for a while in the face of a rich experience, and what Gu needs now is to calm down and not rush to attack. Van Gundy not only pointed out the reason but also reminded Gu Fei, but Gu Fei on the field couldn't hear Van Gundy's advice.

"Who will the Clippers give the last offense of the first half?" Mark Jackson said in a low voice.

James Posey replayed the game video about Gu Fei over and over again in his mind, especially Gu Fei's unique running position, but Gu Fei had already faced the test of various defensive players, and in any case Gu Fei believed in his own running position.

"Beautiful running position, even if Gu is under huge defensive pressure, he still has a strong desire to attack, and the last attack will definitely be in Gu's hands," Bill Wharton said as he looked at Gu in the running position.

"**** really, he** is like a loach," James scolded in a low voice, gritting his teeth and chasing after him.

"Gu is a smart player, he never uses his weaknesses to collide with opponents" Mark Jackson praised seeing Gu Fei's successful run.

"Andre" Gu Fei shouted at Miller, raised his right hand and signaled Miller to pass the ball, Andre Miller didn't look at Gu Fei's position, and with a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew from above his head to Gu Fei, which was completely a pass without looking at people, and Miller's passing skills were visible.

The just right pass followed, and Gu Fei immediately jumped out after receiving the ball steadily. At this time, Peterson, who had been staring at the side for a long time, jumped up high, and his straight arms obviously wanted to give Gu Fei a hot pot, Gu Fei increased his shooting arc in order to avoid blocking.

"Rebound" Gu Fei shouted loudly, and his intuition told him that this ball would not go in.

Sure enough, although the basketball dodged Peterson's block, it changed its flight trajectory due to the increase in arc, and the basketball bounced out on the back edge of the basket, Chris Carman stuck Tyson Chandler behind him, and David West jumped over to grab the rebound.

West immediately handed the ball to Paul, and the Hornets switched from defense to offense in an instant, and less than five seconds before the end of the first half, Paul staged a lightning-fast fury in the New Orleans arena, tearing open the defense line and leaving all the pursuers behind.

"CP3CP3CP3" The center of New Orleans resounded with a uniform shout, New Orleans people shouted for their heroes with their enthusiasm, Gu Fei glanced at Peterson, and Peterson proudly threw Gu Fei a big nostril.

"The Hornets took the lead, albeit by seven points, but it was a psychological advantage for them, especially since they had the upper hand on the court," Jeff Van Gundy said with a frown, wondering how he would change that if he had coached the Clippers.

The atmosphere in the locker room of the Clippers at halftime was a little depressing, Gu Fei lowered his head and said nothing, his mind was constantly replaying the game pictures of the first half, and then James Posey's key defensive shots of him were replayed in the system, replaying them over and over again.

Suddenly, a voice crept into his head. (To be continued.) )
